This study looks at how cross-sex hormone therapy affects appetite (eating behavior), metabolism (how your body uses food), energy balance, and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. You may be included if you meet specific health and safety requirements and can follow study procedures.
This study looks at how hormones from the pituitary gland affect bone and fat in people with obesity. It may help understand why some people with pituitary conditions have different bone health and body composition.
This trial tests a diet therapy for young people who have gained a lot of weight after treatment for a certain type of brain tumor. The goal is to see if the diet can help manage obesity related to the tumor or its treatment.
This research study investigates tumors and disorders of the pituitary gland (a small gland that controls many body hormones) and related areas of the brain. You may qualify if you have a pituitary tumor or disorder, or if you have a family history of these conditions.
This study aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning for people with severe obesity—especially when it may be related to a genetic cause or a brain condition affecting appetite. You may be invited if your case includes clues from your history or symptoms, and you can consent to genetic testing discussions as part of usual care.
